Oliver Steele-Perkins MCIOB Opiniones 

After working closely with Oliver for many years, I can confidently recommend him at every level. His project management skills are exceptional, matched by clear communication and impressive patience and diligence—especially in the face of challenges typical in this often conflictive industry.

From a senior architect’s perspective, Oliver is the key link between our drawings and effective action on site. His input during the pre-construction phase has been incredibly valuable on complex schemes, and I’m genuinely proud to have learned practical, down-to-earth lessons through working with him.

On top of all that, he has a real talent for teaching and guiding less experienced team members across departments.

If I get the chance to work with him again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

As a residential owner, Oliver worked as our project manager for a year long renovation which involved substantial reworking of the ground floor - multiple RSJ's and retanking of cellar - whilst we continued to live onsite. Oliver ran the builder tender process and took control of the selection process whilst always communicating with us. Oliver managed the whole project extremely effectively, keeping us on track, assisted in resolution of multiple issues with the builder calmly and with much common sense. He managed our expectations well and communicated effectively with other advisers. Would 100% recommend.

Oliver worked with us on a major rebuild of an historic house in Berkshire over a period of more than a year and provided us with the highest standard of professional advice and project management. It was a complex project with a mix of new build and refurbishment, and a tight budget for a very significant build. Oliver worked analytically and logically to break down the component elements in a way that was easy for us as the client to understand and follow. He liaised with the main contractor and sub-contractors to ensure the project was on track and on budget, and provided clear documentation for all negotiations on individual elements as and when they arose. If the need arose again we would definitely use Oliver on another project

We selected Oliver as our project manager for a complex residential renovation which involved an extension and a basement. Together with him we then ran the process to select the rest of the team, including the architect and builder. Oliver managed the tender, and the whole project, extremely effectively, keeping us on track and on budget. We then hired Oliver again for a second project we did, and he once again performed with the same professionalism and effectiveness. We look forward to working together on any future developments.

As an MEP consultant I have worked with Oliver on a number of projects over the years.

Oliver demonstrates the level of experience, understanding and professionalism required to manage projects that this sector requires.

It has always been a pleasure to collaborate with Oliver.

Id highly recommend Oliver to mange your next project

As an interior designer, I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Oliver on several projects. I truly couldn’t ask for a better collaborator.

He consistently demonstrates outstanding communication skills, setting clear deadlines and keeping everyone informed with regular site progress updates. His ability to keep the flow of communication smooth between consultants, contractors, designers and clients has made each project feel cohesive and stress-free.

What stands out most is his proactive problem-solving approach. He doesn’t just fix issues, he explains the root cause and offers insights to help prevent them in the future. That kind of support is invaluable.

He’s also incredibly thoughtful in how he communicates, always adjusting his vocabulary to ensure complete understanding, no matter your level of technical expertise. He listens actively to ideas from all and welcomes feedback with genuine openness.

Above all, he’s someone who goes the extra mile every time. His dedication, patience, and professionalism make him an asset to any project.
